Notes About The Poem

Bridging Paradigms

i knew i had crossed the final bridge
when i stopped grieving what i had lost
and started treasuring what i'd been given

Oh, how powerfully poignant! There is a dark road through grief, but through your reflection of memories there is a great light. This is so deep and beautiful! :)Paulette
